There are five distictly different types of urethanes, but virtuall all the major coatings manufacturers will agree, and extensive industry use has shown, that a fully crosslinked aliphatic, ASTM TYPE 5 urethane is the most durable, and most practical long term finish available today.

THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE:
CROSSLINK DENSITY

The most critical difference between high and low density crosslink coatings is the actual number of chemical bonds holding the molecules together. The higher the crosslinked density of a coating, the higher the overall film toughness and chemical resistance.

Since GLAS-TECH 9000 is a very high crosslinked system, it offers the most long term value to your refinishing business as compared to other coatings such as lowlink urethanes, polyesters, epoxys, or enamels now available.
